Duluth Indigenous Commission Holds Forum and Feast

A feast and forum brought the Duluth community and Duluth Indigenous Commission together on Wednesday.

Along with food, this forum provided the opportunity for the community to meet and gain an understanding of the role and function of this commission. They are working on an Eethnographic Study as well as a Dluth American Indian Community Needs Assessment.

"We're building relations on a constant basis," said Ricky DeFoe with the Duluth Indigenous Commission. "We're reaching out in a good way with handshakes and hugs and kind words to those in the city of Duluth so we continue to build this relationship that needs to be fostered"

This time last year the Apostle Islands Ice Cave season was about to wrap up, but this year, it's just getting started, and the shorter season had crowds flocking to the attraction for its opening weekend. Just days ago, park officials gave the okay for the ice caves to open up to the nearly 11,000 visitors who came over the weekend.
